The Island at the Center of the World (Paperback)
To what extent did America -- the very idea of it -- develop out of the ideas that flourished in The Dutch Republic? Shorto takes us from Amsterdam to Neu Amsterdam and shows us how when the Dutch established this gateway to The New World, they also created the template for all that followed -- a society based on democracy, trade, openness, and self-reinvention.
